Princess Eugenie to marry in autumn

There will be a second royal wedding in 2018, with Princess Eugenie set to marry her long-term boyfriend in the same chapel where Prince Harry will wed Meghan Markle.

St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle will host the wedding of Princess Eugenie, 27, to Jack Brooksbank, 31, a former nightclub manager, in the autumn of this year, Buckingham Palace announced yesterday.

The princess’s mother, the Duchess of York, said that the couple “float with laughter and love”, while her father, the Duke of York, described his future son-in-law as an “absolutely outstanding young man” yesterday.

The couple met after being introduced by mutual friends while skiing in the Swiss resort of Verbier around seven years ago.
